Every card is at least £100 too expensive for what they are, that's AMD and NV.

To my mind the 78800XT should be £400-£440 - to take Sapphire's range to illustrate this.

£400 - Pulse

£420 - Pure

£440 - Nitro+

£600 for the asus tuf and sapphire nitro 7800's :cry: Can get a 6950 for around £570 which is still reasonably faster.

Buying a gpu these days is like setting fire to your wallet, there's the price it SHOULD be at, then you have the price it IS at, for 'reasons'.

Setting fire on your wallet should get you prettier lighting effects, sadly no RMA if it doesn't work as expected

Going to be interesting to see what they're going to do with their prices with these 'refreshes'.

They'll probably put the prices of the original 4000 series cards down to what they should have been in the first place lol

How is everyone doing now 3 months on? I’m pretty happy with my 7800xt mba. I’ve managed to get it purring to match 6950xt almost by overclocking.

Temps are great (max 80c junction temp) even though it’s a 2x fan.

Prices look to have come down a touch (on the MBA and Pulse models) I can see on the 7800XT page:

getting there :)
What sort of timespyscores you getting?

I’m hitting near enough (sometimes 22K and mostly between 21500-21900)

My settings are core 2650mhz minimum 2950mhz maximum Voltage 1017mv Fans 75%. Mem 2614mhz fast timings.

Oh I have the MBA 7800XT

Edit: I notice I get the best scores on computer restart, but lower scores in subsequent runs not sure why? (@LtMatt - since you have had great experience with AMD- can you help? Thanks)
